Bright Hands Assisted Living
Assisted living in a house with five residents.
Bright Hands runs two five-resident assisted living homes in Montgomery County, Maryland, one in Silver Spring, one in Montgomery Village. Familiar caregivers, food cooked in the kitchen, and the quiet of an ordinary house. Both are Level 3 licensed by the State of Maryland.
I run this home personally.
"I pass the medications, I'm there at dinner, and when a resident's up at 2 a.m., so am I. You don't get that at a place with sixty beds."
I spent more than ten years in Maryland senior care (big facilities, small homes, all of it) before I opened this one. I wanted the place I'd put my own mother in.
So I keep the team small. The same few faces week to week, until you and your parent know every one of them by name.
When you tour, it's me walking you through: the kitchen, the living room, whoever's around that afternoon. Ask me anything.
What five residents lets us do.
With five residents, the day gets shaped around each person. Some live here for years. Some come for a few weeks after a hospital stay. Sometimes it's a husband and wife who want to stay together. The home stays the same while the care changes.

Five private rooms, a table everyone eats at, and a back deck for good weather. Every photo on this page was taken inside one of our two homes. Come walk through it.
One rate, set at the start.
